An apple pie is a pie in which the principal filling ingredient is apple. It is often served with whipped cream, ice cream, or cheddar cheese. It is generally double-crusted, with pastry both above and below the filling.
Ingredients
- 6-7 cups apples peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 egg white
- 1-2 teaspoons sugar
- 10 tablespoon iced water
- Scoops of vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients and toss well.
- Line a 9" pie plate with pastry dough and fill with apple filling.
- Roll out top crust, place overtop of the pie. Seal edges and remove any excess dough.
- Beat egg white and 2 teaspoons water. Cut 4-5 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375°F and bake an additional 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
- Top with vanilla ice cream and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
Note
The flour tossed with the fresh apples turns their juices into a thickened, spiced sauce during baking. Mix it with the sugar and spices before tossing the mixture with the apples.
